No way does David $#@!ing Davis justify a place in the team ahead of Afobe or Dicko.

I wouldn't want a single one of Blues' players.

He's been in very good form for them. On his day I think he's a really really good player. With us though he was never very focused. Seems to have fixed that in Birmingham.

Anyway if you wanted to go 4-4-2 he would be the obvious choice to drop. I just wanted to not look wholly biased, hence the 4-5-1.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Balls to biased, he isn't anything like good enough. Hence us getting rid for £100k.

 

[Alan]

What we sold him for is pretty irrelevant. He's been good for Birmingham, his price tag doesn't affect that in the least.

And to think, I got stick for giving him a 3 as a match rating once upon a time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

You would leave out a striker who has scored 12 in 32 or one who has scored 10 in 17 for a mediocre defensive midfielder in the interest of "fairness", that is the point. Davis is several rungs below Price who in turn probably needs replacing if we're set on playing 4-4-2 in the longer term.

We haven't missed Davis in the slightest since he left, he is an irrelevance and including him is nothing more than a pointless token gesture. None of Blues' players would get near our team, that is why they are 21 points behind us.

Bloody Hell, Dan, it's a hypothetical best XI, cool out.

Davis being "several rungs" below Price is seriously debatable anyway.

Start a thread on your fave Wolves XI and include Seyi, Zubar, Fergie Jnr and Rankine. That should keep him cool for a few hours

Bit of an obvious poke in the eye, innit

Obvious but sometimes worth it

Price is vastly better than Davis.

The Football League has charged Rotherham United with fielding an ineligible player (Farrend Rawson) in the club's Sky Bet Championship match with Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday, April 6, which the Millers won 1-0.

The matter will be heard by a Football Disciplinary Commission which will take place at the earliest possible opportunity to ensure that it reaches its conclusion before the end of the current season.

"Lesser known" club, so that means they will be made an example of and given a 25 point fine?

 

[Kenny]

3 points deduction pretty much guaranteed for them. Puts Wigan and Millwall back in with a chance of avoiding relegation

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looks like he signed on a 28 day youth loan on March 7th and they played him on April 6th, pretty open and shut case you'd think.

 

[Langers]

That'll no doubt piss off Steve Evans something rotten, who keeps on about the Football League 'having it in for us'.

3 points deduction pretty much guaranteed for them. Puts Wigan and Millwall back in with a chance of avoiding relegation

... and yet Blackpool only had a £30k fine when they did it earlier in the season.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Blackpool lost that game though, Rotherham won theirs.

3 points deduction pretty much guaranteed for them. Puts Wigan and Millwall back in with a chance of avoiding relegation

.....and increases the chances of them still having to play for when they play us

Interesting stuff on the Bradford City fire disaster.
